FUSE PROTECTION
a mains fuse is provided in the IeC power inlet on the back of this apparatus, which can only be removed with the power
cord unplugged. This must be replaced by a fuse of the same type and rating (see Specifications or refer to rear panel)
IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR THE UNITED KINGDOM (CONNECTING THE PlUG AND CORD)
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Blue - neuTral
Brown - lIVe
as the colours of the wires in the mains cable may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in
your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter n or
coloured BlaCK.
The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter l or
coloured reD.
make sure that neither wire is connected to the earth terminal of the three pin plug.
WARNING- STRONG MAGNETIC FIElD
Due to the powerful drive unit magnet, do not place within 1 metre (3 foot) of a cathode ray tube (CRT) television or
monitor. There is no issue with plasma and lCD devices.

UNPACKING
To unpack the subwoofer, remove the tape from the top of the carton then fold the flaps right back before inverting the
carton and contents. lift the carton clear of the contents, then remove all inner packaging.
Check carefully for any sign of transit damage. In this unlikely event, notify your shipping company and/or dealer as soon
as possible for advice.
It is recommended you store all the packaging to allow protected transport in future.
ensure that the following accessories are present:
•
•
•
•
mains cord appropriate to your country of use.
4 x screw-in cones, for floor coupling.
4 x lock nuts.
4 x metal cups, for protection of delicate floor surfaces.
FITTING OF FEET
screw the four cones into the inserts on the base of the cabinet. The points on these cones are designed to go through
the weave on a carpet without damage, for rigid and vibration free coupling to the floor surface below. Adjust the lock
nuts for stable positioning. With wooden or other delicate floor surfaces, place the metal cups under the cones, to avoid
damaging the floor surface.
POSITIONING
The performance of any subwoofer is greatly influenced by the room placement. Corner placement will increase the
amount of bass, by using either of the corners next to the front channel loudspeakers. Placing centrally along this wall
will result in less bass, while moving the subwoofer out into the room will give less bass still. Be prepared to experiment
with both position and the subwoofer controls to get the best results.
remember that the object of a subwoofer is to enhance the output of your main speakers, not overpower it.
CONNECTING TO YOUR SYSTEM
alwaYs maKe anD CHeCK all ConneCTIons BeFore PluGGInG THe suBwooFer InTo THe maIns.
Connection may be made either at lIne level, using the phono connectors on the back of the unit, or using the nearby
speaker HI leVel terminals, which require bare wire or 4mm speaker plugs.
FOR lINE lEVEl CONNECTION
For use with an aV receiver or DVD receiver, connect a screened phono cable from the receiver suB output to either
rIGHT or leFT low level phono input on the rear of the subwoofer.

If you are using the subwoofer with a 2 channel or stereo system and your preamplifier has a spare set of outputs,
connect left and right to the subwoofer l and r inputs using screened phono cables.
FOR SPEAKER lEVEl CONNECTION
If you wish to connect to a 2 channel or stereo system using your amplifier speaker outputs, proceed as follows. Using a
length of speaker cable for each channel, wire your amplifier outputs to the subwoofer HIGH LEVEL terminals, ensuring
that red (+) goes to red (+), and black (-) to black (-). Double check connections before switching on the subwoofer and
your stereo amplifier.
CONTROlS AND ADJUSTMENTS
with the exception of the main power switch, all control settings are accessed by the cursor keypad on the top of the
subwoofer cabinet, next to the display.
after powering on, the stored settings are loaded, and the display shows the default screen, stating product name.
There are two specific menus in terms of operation:
user- this gives access to commonly needed settings
seTuP- this gains access to more advanced settings and adjustments
USER CONTROlS
There are two functions available:
Volume- pressing any button gains access to this function. The leFT and rIGHT arrow buttons are used to decrease
or increase volume respectively. After five minutes of no activity, the default screen is again shown.
PreseT- from the Volume menu, press either uP or Down buttons. There are three options of either auDIo, VIDeo
or nIGHT mode. These can be selected using either the leFT or rIGHT buttons. return to the Volume menu using
either the uP or Down buttons.
AUDIO: This gives the flattest and most extended frequency response, ideal for the accurate reproduction of music.
VIDeo: This gives boost to certain low frequencies, to give enhancement to movie special effects.
nIGHT: This reduces both the output level and bass extension of the subwoofer, to avoid disturbance of those nearby.
SETUP CONTROlS
This menu is accessed by pressing the ENTER (centre) button for more than three seconds, and gives access to the
following options, selected by the uP and Down buttons:
lowPass- This is used to adjust the subwoofer’s upper frequency limit to achieve a correct balance with the main
speakers. The leFT and rIGHT buttons give a range of 50Hz to 150Hz. attempting to increase the limit beyond 150Hz
switches the subwoofer filter out, into so called LFE mode (Low Frequency Effects), where the filters in the AV receiver are
left to set the transition to the main speakers, generally at 80Hz. This is the most common form of operation, but refer to
the manual of your AV receiver for more details. Sometimes, in a difficult acoustic environment, it is beneficial to provide
additional filtering within the subwoofer, even though the AV receiver has been set in LFE mode.
PHASE- This can be adjusted between 0 degrees (in phase) to 180 degrees (out of phase), using the LEFT and RIGHT
buttons. The correct setting depends on room acoustics and the position of the subwoofer in the room. starting with the 0
degrees setting, then the 180 degree setting, see which one results in the greatest amount of bass at the listening position,
being aware that all bass frequencies should sound evenly balanced. This is generally easier to achieve using music. If
neither setting is satisfactory, try the intermediate settings.
sHelF- This gives either a progressive increase or reduction of output with reducing frequency, down to 35Hz. a range
from -6dB to +6dB is available using the leFT and rIGHT buttons respectively. This control can be used to tailor to
subwoofer more accurately to the room or to personal taste. This function is intended for advanced users or installers, and
for general use should be set to 0dB (IE no boost or cut applied).
PeQ GaIn- Parametric equaliser gives a boost or cut to a narrow range of frequencies to compensate for room resonances
and other effects, and is again aimed at advanced users and installers. a range from -6dB to +6dB is available using the
leFT and rIGHT buttons respectively.
PeQ wIDe- This selects the width of frequencies boosted or cut. use either the leFT or rIGHT buttons to select between
NARROW (Q=6), NORMAL (Q=3.5) or WIDE (Q=2).
PeQ FreQuenCY- selects the frequency at which the maximum boost or cut occurs. use the leFT and rIGHT buttons to
vary between 20Hz and 100Hz.
Power- use either the leFT or rIGHT buttons to select subwoofer on, oFF or auTo. In auTo mode, the subwoofer will
switch on in the presence of a signal, reverting to sTanDBY if no signal is detected for approximately 15 minutes. In on
mode, the subwoofer is left powered continuously. on state is indicated by the light behind the speaker cloth glowing green,
while oFF or sTanDBY is indicated by red.
BrIGHTness- use either the leFT or rIGHT buttons to set display brightness to low, meDIum and HIGH.
eXIT- use either leFT or rIGHT buttons to select Yes or no, then centre button to exit to the initial default screen.
REMOTE CONTROl
an Ir remote control sensor is provided behind the grille cloth on the front of the subwoofer, to enable user settings to
be changed by a universal remote control or system controller.
